Are the books still popular with the kids these days?
I think that show made me cry almost every episode! Happy tears with all that love. Yes, simpler times when getting a penny and a candy cane for Christmas made their eyes light up and entertainment was listening to Pa play the fiddler.
Oh, I miss that show. Happy memories for me!

Yes my kids seem to still like them. Girls more than boys but this year I did have a few closet readers of boys who ended up really liking them. I think they were afraid they might be considered girlie if they read them. I started watching the episodes again last year at this time because I was home on maternity leave and it was a cold winter. So with a new baby I had plenty of time to watch them. With the hormones of post pregnancy I bawled at all of them. But then again I bawl at them no matter what!

that even with all the modern computers and cell phones, the kids can still appreciate the stories.
Do you remember the episode when Laura goes up to the mountain after her baby brother died to wait for God to "trade her in " for her brother back. Then she finds that cross floating in the creek and the mysterious angel appears. Pa finally finds her and all ends well. Oh, that was a tear jerker one for me. But like I said before, most of them were tear jerkers for me. Just made you feel good after watching the innocent, simple love and life they led.

that was so sad! I think I bawled through the whole thing! I always loved the Christmas ones. Especially the one where Pa is caught in the blizzard and has to eat almost all the chrismtas stuff to stay alive. But he saves a few things and they are so excited with just that little bit. A far cry from todays kids who come back and tell me they got X-box, gameboy advance, tv's, mp3 players and other things like that for Chrismtas!
Well I am signing off to go and watch my third movie this weekend since we have been snowed in! Have a good weekend Beth!

but hubby didn't like the name. My favorite part of the book series was I think in "On the Banks of Plum Creek" when Laura told Nellie to stand where the leeches were!
I remember wishing Michael Landon was my "Pa"...ha ha

Tia, did you read my post further down? I said the same thing!!! I loved when Almonza started calling Laura Beth for obvious reasons! It made me like my name a little more!

Casey, you have such a beautful bone structure in your face. I love your cheekbones!
And Sara-Sage, I'm actually a big fan of the short fringe.. I think of it as quite a Wellington look (a little artsy, maybe the equivalent would be San Francisco?)... and I love the colour!
I'm too afraid to touch my hair. I've been growing it out from a crop about Casey's length, and now I have this incredible mullet, because the back bits come down further than the top bits. I'm keeping it in pigtails until it's all long enough to cut into a bob. I've been tempted to dye it, but the reason I cut it was because I was sick of dyeing it... so I'll have to give it some careful thought!

that little Minnie looks a bit like the actress that played Laura? Every time I see her picture I think of Little house in the big woods. It was my all time favourite book! And so were the others and I loved the show too!

Sweetie, you're not baldy! You're a knock-out. Every time I come into the Living Room and see you, you look more beautifuler than before. Amazing how you can wear so many different hairdos and look just as good with each.
The color of your hair is absolutely FANTASTIC. Very, VERY pretty. (But I am curious as to why you chopped it all off.) You cut your hair, I grew mine out. Why do you suppose we take all our frustrations out on our heads?
By the way, you Mainer you -- tell me, aren't you sorry now that you whined about not having any snow the last time I was here? Hmmmmm?
